sometimes I just miss the world in which people didn’t have all the shiny screens to stare at wherever they go (especially at the restaurants and cafes)

and the world where internet was there, but you had to connect through the phone line and that didn’t work more times than it did… (and modem made all those noises) and it broke off all the time, and you had to choose wisely and carefully which pages there was a point to spend time loading, because the time you could spend doing that was very limited

and I miss the blackouts
and darkness and winter silence in general

and I know that there are more than enough places in this world where this (and worse) is still true.
but that’s not the point
